Radio adaptations

There are also several radio adaptations broadcast in Canada. I have details of at least 6 in the series. Under the title The Stories Of JG Ballard. If no one objects I think it would be worthwhile to include them. Jakescows (talk) 15:49, 24 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

That sounds fine to me. Eddie Blick (talk) 20:01, 24 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

J F ?

The If cover shows his name as J. F. Ballard - was that just a typo ? Or does it have some significance ? -- Beardo (talk) 02:20, 26 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Pronunciation of name

This should have the correct pronunciation of his last name, which is Ba-LARD rather than, as many people think, BAL-ard. I don't know how to do it properly. CasparRH (talk) 02:05, 10 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Do you have a source that would confirm that pronunciation? I’ve only ever heard it the other way. — HTGS (talk) 04:26, 10 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
